As part of Mark Cuban's pitch to Wesley Matthews during free agency, Cuban told Matthews that he wanted him to be a cornerstone piece for the franchise.

"One of the first things he said to me was he wanted me to be a cornerstone piece of that franchise moving forward," Matthews said. "I told Cuban this the other day: This is the first time, head-to-toe, that an organization has had faith and confidence in me. From coaches, to GM to owner — complete confidence. That's all I wanted. That's all I wanted." It's clear that the Mavericks view Matthews highly, and it definitely was interesting to learn that the Blazers never even attempted to re-sign him. Matthews is hoping to be ready for training camp, but his Achilles injury will make him a risky selection on draft day.

Chandler Parsons (knee) will be attending Team USA's minicamp in Vegas, but he will not be participating.

He will be joining Carmelo Anthony, Kevin Durant and Kevin Love on the sidelines, as he is still recovering from knee surgery. Parsons will have a much larger role in the Dallas offense with Rajon Rondo and Monta Ellis out of town, so he should be a solid mid-round pick in fantasy drafts this season. Parsons' knee should be good to go for the start of the season, although Dallas has been quiet on their end regarding his status.
